If you have any sort of mental illness, neurodivergence, or trouble learning/thinking/finishing tasks, ESPECIALLY if undiagnosed,, you basically must lie on job resumes and during interviews and say “yes I am capable of doing this job.” Then if you make a few mistakes on the job you get railed into and they say “if you can't do xyz, you shouldn't work here.”
It doesn't even matter how hard i try, sometimes a couple mistakes are inevitable. Sitting there trying to prevent it just fogs my thinking from all the anxiety.
These very same people who ridicule people that can't get everything right and fast say, “people these days are too fragile. You can't just sit at home because you are depressed.” Or “back in my day we couldn't use mental illness as an excuse. It was called laziness.”
What are we supposed to do then? Nothing is right.
Ableism is one of the biggest things I see in this world that gets tolerated. You can't help being born with less intelligence. You can't help it if childhood trauma shaped you into someone predisposed to struggle with tasks other people breeze through. Sheer willpower can't make everything work out for you. There's not much you can do to change it…
